Dave came out about a month ago to troubleshoot why a dimmer switch was flickering. I thought the dimmer needed to be replaced but after running some tests, he showed me that the dimmer switch was working correctly but the 20 year old light fixture was the problem. He said it was not urgent to fix. I called him after I purchased a new fixture and we made an appointment and he showed up on time, got right to work and I paid him for 1 hour of work even though he offered to give me a discount because it did not take an hour. I know hes small company and I like to support good work.
Description of Work: I have used Dave before. He showed up on time and took down an old light fixture and installed a flush mount ceiling light fixture that I purchased.

He came out the next day. He was very friendly and very competent. He removed the fixture and diagnosed the problem. We are now going to get it fixed with our warranty service. His charge was based on the time spent on the job. I think he is the highest rated electrician in our area.

I have used Alan Electric in the past and have been satisfied with the work. So, when the electrician that my real estate agent normally uses couldn't even be bothered to call us back, I called Alan Electric again. The response was quick and courteous and Dave spent quite a bit of time on the phone discussing the issue with me. We scheduled an appointment and he showed up on time, verified the scope of the work and confirmed his estimate for the job. After I gave the okay he went and got some parts that he needed and then did the work. It took less than one hour total. Dave did a great job and patiently explained everything to the new owner too so that he felt comfortable that there would be no risk or degradation in service to the home.
Description of Work: Work performed consisted of disabling a 220 volt circuit by removing outlets and the circuit breaker and capping the openings. This was done to prevent a potentially dangerous overload condition from occurring. The house was being sold so I didn't want to spend more than I had to. Dave recommended a very cost effective solution that was acceptable to the buyers and to me.

It was an excellent experience. Dave came by to give an estimate. It was significantly less expensive than the one other bid I received. I called him that night to hire him and we scheduled a time the next week. The day of the work, he arrived and was friendly and efficient. He completed the job just as promised and the results were great. My dishwasher and garbage disposal work perfectly. I appreciate that he charged me exactly what he estimated the cost of the job to be.
Description of Work: Installed two 15 amp lines from my electrical box to my kitchen. Installed an outlet under my kitchen sink and connected dishwasher and garbage disposal.

I am pretty handy at this stuff but gave up and called Dave. He worked through the problem systematically and solved the mystery. We have used Dave before and will continue to do so. Good guy.
Description of Work: Replace 3 gfci recepticles, replace disposal rocker switch, put up large decorative ouside wall light. The real challenge was a circuit that controlled several outlets not getting power. Dave discovered that during a remodel / addition to our home two gfci recepticles were installed on the same circuit. One at the beginning that would shut off the whole line if a problem occured and on at the end of the line. When the one at the end was tested it would trip the one at the beginning of the circuit. The one at the beginning of the circuit was installed behind a hot water heater in a closet.
